Nitrogen Generation Module (NGM)

More Operators are turning to nitrogen as the actuating gas for their hydro-pneumatic systems. Here’s why…

Air that is not properly treated after it’s been compressed can carry moisture into the accumulators. Wet air can foul hydraulic fluids, degrading system responsiveness and performance. The presence of moisture within the accumulator gas increases the probability for internal corrosion of critical components and endangers the integrity of the accumulator itself.

Most gas-charged accumulators are actuated by dry, compressed air, which can present a number of challenges for operators. Systems age with use and time; leaks are common, and if proper maintenance is not performed the air could contain an excessive amount of hydrocarbons.

And if hydraulic safety is your concern…

Be aware that a hydraulic system which is leaking air can be dangerous. The danger comes if that air is laden with hydrocarbons and leaking into areas that also contain hazardous gases. This can dangerously alter the fuel/air mixture and create flammable or explosive atmospheres.

Description

BENEFITS

Improved Rig Safety: Nitrogen is an inert gas. It is therefore inherently much safer to operate high pressure equipment such as rig tensioners, motion compensators and blow-out preventers with compressed nitrogen rather than compressed air.

Compact Footprint: BAUER’s unique EVO9-NK screw compressor design coupled with ultra-high-efficiency nitrogen membranes delivers high performance in an extremely small footprint, and is therefore suitable for rig retrofits and conversions from air to nitrogen.

Robust Build for Offshore Environments: All BAUER NGM systems are designed to operate continuously under severe offshore conditions in high salt, high temperature and high humidity environments. Special 3 coat marine spec paint with offshore surface preparation is standard.

BAUER Reliability and Low Cost of Ownership: The NGM system is designed and built in-house with BAUER’s legendary reliability and low cost of ownership guaranteed. 2 year Warranty, Lifetime Support Guarantee.
